The sixx cool moms group on fb…

And also the whole “beetlejuice” type stuff the mom is into and tries to act like her daughter is into the same things completely organically. It’s the same as those parents that are like “my kid’s favorite song is blah blah” when it’s the song the parent plays non stop.

I left the group a while ago because she clearly uses people for financial gain. But I used to get a lot of second hand embarrassment from some of the stuff she posted about her personal life.

I should join just to post that my son ALSO didn’t play with toys as a preschooler and it turns out it’s because he is autistic! I bet that will ruffle her feathers.

I joined the group as I was new to the area. It seems like an MLM in that she presents as a successful business owner with a flexible job, but if you look at all the time she spends posting vs how much she earns, it’s really not good.

She is talented at getting engagement in the group via posts that are personal and controversial and really designed to get tons of people to chime in…but I stopped engaging as it feels kind of fake, it’s all there to improve her stats for advertisers.

From a business perspective, I think one challenge is that she is trying to make money from events that most ppl in her audience cannot afford.

And like others have said, I really feel bad for her husband.

It doesn’t matter the appropriateness level of the actual business to the recommendation. It’s so ridiculous at this point. People ask for a dentist and she recommends the one that pays her that of course, doesn’t take insurance. Because definitely most moms are able to go to a dentist that doesn’t accept insurance when so many do.

It’s always been my experience that the reason people ask for recommendations on these groups is because they want an actual place that other parents have used and loved. When it’s financial based-it’s biased and takes away from that 100%.

I already left the group but man-there also seemed to be some drama with the owner of the group and others. She seems really volatile when she is confronted about something? Her reactions just seem over the top.

Anyway I do think she started with good intentions but the group just seems all about money at this point.

Most good health providers don't accept insurance , none of our doctors except dermatologist accept insurance and the derm office is a billing disaster

The entire staff of the Mayo and Cleveland Clinics would like a word.

This isn't true at all and you are getting ripped off. She's charging a fee for advertising and getting free products and services. You cannot believe anything she promotes.

OP should have ordered her own food.

There is no way I'd do something for $100 when other groups are much cheaper or just pay for your own meal.

Whenever a person/business stops meeting her needs ( meaning they stop giving her free services, kissing her a** etc…) she drops them and they are not heard from again in the group. She has gone through 3 swim schools for her daughter-that’s when I noticed it.

She is very self important and goes into businesses with the attitude of they would be so lucky to have her say good things about them. She expects/demands free services for her own use/daughters use. It’s gross.

Is it really called sixx cool moms?

Yes. However, the origin story is that it's just a brand and there were never any other moms. She says she is the only founder.

I’ve been a member of the group for a while. I don’t know her, never met her and would never pay $100 for an event.

That said, there is some good info, funny memes. There are some very liberal and very conservative members/comments. If I don’t like something, I just scroll on. I don’t understand all the hate.

It’s social media.

I agree with you, but I do think it’s a good call out that she’s not properly disclosing advertising/paid placement. There’s a reason that regulations exist for this sort of thing. But she is able to escape accountability, and I think it’s worth noting. Now, would I waste a ton of time and energy on this topic? No, but am glad to see an objectionable behavior called out.

I think the hate comes in when you realize it's 100% disingenuous and contrived. Especially when recommending services solely for the payout with a complete disregard to the quality of this services.

As for the $100 event and people commenting the would "never spend that on an event". That's great. I get it. In my case, I had post partum depression, didn't know anyone, and didn't have any family. It was an expense for me but I looked into it, saw sushi was provided (a relatively expensive refreshment) and decided since I never go out, and it was a rare opportunity to make friends it was worth it. I was wrong and it was a rip off.

You live and learn. But again, that's where the hate comes in. I posted because I think about new or lonely mothers getting bad services, bad recommendations, bad products and bad experiences all because this woman wants to make money under guise of community.

Try meet up and other facebook groups that have them for free.

What's odd to me is she will not let PTA's advertise things like fundraisers and she specifically told me I wasn't working for free so why should she. I was working for free, many hours work. And, she advertises often for free in other groups.

Yes, that was a rude and tone deaf response on her part. Would be better to just say “I have a policy not to promote these activities” rather than be snotty.
